3800 Who wants powdercoating?

[smknL67]

what about calipers and disks? would that be under "small" stuff? I wouldn't mind having the pem's powder coated neither...

why wouldnt you jet coat, not powdercoat for the money and heat control

TOMO!! Answer my question!! 

Can they do Chrome?? Actually its called "Reflective Chrome" I dont think its a matter of can they do it but do they have the powder to do it? I know some places like to stick to basic colors.

Like I said if they can do the chrome, Ill give you a piece to do and depending how that coms out Ill have a bunch more to get done over the winter. Most of the pieces are going to be small.

If not then im just going to buy a powder coating kit and bake that shit in my oven...lol

Yeah, we can do colors like that. I am trying to gather up a bunch of color/finish samples now to post pictures of.

Thanks Steve. I will get you a photo of the curb rash so you can let me know if that is a problem.

Usually it isnt a problem unless it is really bad.

jet coating is for controling heat, like ceramic coating used for headers
so for exhaust stuff like PEMS and headers powdercoating wouldnt make the best choice
powdercoating is for looks, most people cant paint very well and dont like the way spraypaint looks.

 

[Mike K]

Powdercoating is for looks but mostly for durability. It is much more resistant to chipping than paint is and provides a much better overall finish. I wouldn't powdercoat a set of headers when you can ceramic coat them for slightly more money and 10x the benefit.

Here is a pic of a set of wheels we had done for a customer's GTO.

Our Trans Am with black powdercoated Weld ProStars.

Wow. That looks way better then painting. And only $50 a wheel huh?

 

[GTs_Se_GP_FAMILY]

How much to powdercoat a valve cover off a hon-daa? a friend of mine wants his done. as do i, maybe...

 

[JJ91284]

I believe the valve covers would melt since you have to bake the metal parts to like 450 or so degrees

That is what I thought too. Until I was looking at some color samples at the powdercoater last week. I wanted him to show me a black chrome sample and he said he had it on a set of valve covers he did for someone months ago that they never picked up. He brought it out and it was an L67 valve cover. So it is safe to say that they can definately be powdercoated, it just requires a slightly different process. $50 per set of valve covers.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Did I miss the color samples? ;-)

so if i get you 2 honda valve covers will it be $50 or will it be more?

 

[EmersonHart13]

Steve,

How is the powdercoating, still good? I will hopefully be in the market soon and was wondering what colors can be done?

Thanks,

John

You can heat plastic parts with an radiant heating station and they won't melt. The covers are designed to see high temperatures in the first place.
